When Estong Met Dora
We watched Dora’s Sing-Along Fiesta this morning at Alabang Town Center. We went there early so we could get seats, but unfortunately the seats for the common tao (read: non-Ayala discount card holder) were already full. My card expired last year, I think and I didn’t bother to have it renewed. If I only knew. BUT, a card is not enough, you have to present a receipt from any establishment in ATC worth 500 pesos to have a (”a” isa lang) seat and an opportunity to have your picture taken with Dora. And the picture, you have to claim in a certain studio there. Hay, bawat kilos may bayad. Kaya nga ba lalong yumayaman ang mayayaman e. Needless to say, di kami nakapasok. Sa tabi lang kami ng harang. Ringside kumbaga. Ok lang, malapit naman sa stage. Hay, we even went to the Customer Service to inquire. I asked why they were not letting people in, while there were still plenty of seats available. The lady said for VIP daw yun. Sino ba yung VIP?, sabi ko. Well, she didn’t answer me. Kainis. I even asked those in charge if I can take pictures during the show. Baka kasi pati yun may bayad. :D Buti naman wala. Pero, pinag-isipan nya muna bago sumagot. Hay nakakaloka.
Anyway, Estong enjoyed some parts of the show while chewing on his lollipop. There were parts that he would smile, clap his hands, shout, shake his head, but there were times na deadma lang. I enjoyed it, I was so happy to see Dora. Ang laki nya pala sa personal. hahaha. Boots was there also, as well as Swiper and the big red chicken.
So I took some pictures but most of them are blurred. It must be my settings in the camera. Hay, di pa talaga ako marunong. **Should I take basic photography??** Di ako marunong sa low-light. Anyhow, here are the most presentable pictures I was able to come up with.

Went to a Garments Sale in Bulacan after lunch. Ang layo ng trip ko. Bought 2 pairs of pants, a sweatshirt and one complete outfit (polo, shirt & pants). All of them for Estong.
